Ah, didnt read it to the end:

“Force SSL Plugin

This plugin forces an SSL connection, both on the front-end and the admin back-end interface. In addition to using this plugin, you should change the WordPress and Blog address URIs to begin with “https”. You might also want to change the URI in the Options -> Misc admin area so that file uploads will generate the “https” link for uploaded images”

However…

“This method does not […] protect you against man-in-the-middle attacks or other risks that can cripple secure connections.”

I thought that SSL connections are safe against man in the middle attacks, because the certificate is bound to the server ip…

– put the site in private_html (directadmin host) [is this needed?]
– alter the path (public_html -> private_html)
– make an url rewrite rule http->https:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L]

Then all https traffic would have the URLs rewritten to https and secure connection would be maintained during ALL use of the site?

I’m just wondering what I have forgotten here.

Oh, great, but how do I secure the frontend?

I don’t want to secure just admin. I want to secure the content itself.
I want: FORCE_SSL_FRONTEND=true

For Nokia n900 you can use Maemo as the user agent string.

“themes, plugin, images etc?”

Oh, that’s called WinScp ??

Yes, I actually tried it. Several times. It works.

Just define an scp connection to your webhotel, and with a few clicks you are copying your home directory to your local drive. Themes, images, everything. Except for the database. But the database arrives in mail and the database backup files are also in some directory there… At least the wp-dbbackup plugin that I use, creates local backups in addition to the email.

Restore: Install new WP, configure a bit, dump files (themes, images, all of it) back with WinSCP. Also the emailed backup file is there as a local copy to the server. Log in, admin, restore database. Happy.

This is a manual procedure, but usually not needed that often.

Solved.

Yes, how?

I just installed 4.0.1 on an up to date WP install.

Result:
Fatal error: Call to a member function wp_rewrite_rules() on a non-object in /home/USER/domains/DOMAIN.COM/public_html/wp/wp-includes/classes.php on line 39

Same problem here. Lightbox-2 is useless as-is.

Solved: Instead of the zip file from Lightbox 2 homepage I had to download the “Lightbox2 plugin” from www.ads-software.com

I found Lightbox2 and got it installed. On the example page it looks goog. In my blog, however…

1) there’s a big black rectangle on the top of the page
2) the images open in a HUGE white rectangle
3) the images are shown at 100% size – too big

Ooh! Thank you!

I had the same problem. Upgrade to 2.6.2 completely schredded my site and I could not figure out why. Then this little task and everything works!

What gets unsaved at the upgrade moment? Why do I need to resave permalink structure without change?

SOLVED

The admin interface had UTF-8 setting and wp-config.php had utf8. I changed these to match, i.e. they are now both UTF-8 and now the characters are displayed correctly.

I also enabled wp_widget_text_register(); AFTER
– upgrade to 2.6.1
– deleting unused themes
– deleting left behind tables (of long since uninstalled plugins)
– deleting unused wp_options records, that once were used by long gone plugins
– running Repair DB of WP-DBManager plugin

Something happened, and the problem is gone.

ps. WP-DBManager saved me about twenty times yesterday, as I was attempting various ways to solve this issue. What a great plugin! Very much recommended ??
